VISTA Science Experience Center receives State Prize
Published
The VISTA Science Experience Center of the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA) has been awarded the State Prize. The award shows how important the center has become for science communication in Austria.
The VISTA Center opened in October 2025. Since then, it has already welcomed more than 30,000 visitors. The center is located on the grounds of ISTA, a research institution that focuses on basic research in the natural sciences and mathematics.
The Science Experience Center aims to bring the world of research closer to people of all ages. Visitors can not only learn about science from books there, but also experience and try it out for themselves. The high number of guests in the first year shows that there is great interest in such offerings.
The State Prize is an important recognition of the work of the team behind the VISTA Center. ISTA intends to continue developing the center in the future in order to inspire even more people about science and research.
